    Same here, I want to lose 12 pounds + 5% BF by May! My aim is body recompositioning rather than weight loss per say but don't have good BF scales so going to look at weight and judge visually with pinch test. :grimace:

    I'm aiming to do the following:

    Diet wise:
    M-F 8 hour eating window (i.e. 12 - 8 pm eating window)
    Low Carb, High Fat, Not overdo the Protein
    Stop unhealthy snacking and treats on weekdays - i.e. replace with coffee/water/miso, if actually hungry yogurt + fruit + almonds/ hummus + peppers/cucumber


    Exercise:
    Cardio - run once a week (hate running) till get endurance to run 10k
    Tabata/Spinning once a week
    Yoga/ Pop pilates (40mins>) twice a week
    Climb once week (long weekend session)
    Strength train once a week (mostly legs, glutes and abs)

    Other:
    Meditate for at least 5 minutes daily
    Get at least 7 hours sleep (sleep before 12mn, up before 7am)
    Lots of water, keep up the probiotic powder/fish oil/vit D/lemon water regimen in the morning
    Protein powder only after long bouldering session

    ____
    Weighing every Monday from next week (i'm doing a 12 pounds countdown rather than actual weight) if anyone is up for keeping each other up to date on progress (or lack of) will edit my posts here

    Oh good! Personally,i'm not thinking about how much BF i should lose. Do you advise me to focus on my body fat?
    I 'm hitting the gym 3 times/week, i started my diary management yesterday(1st day on this app). That's all.
    You?

    I'm in. I actually need to lose 14lbs but I guess I'll just tack on two extra weeks! Obviously New but was on another challenge that I think was too big so I wasn't really accountable.

    I lost ~10lbs at this point, and I just wanted to tell you all that after this point things get really easy since the good habits are pretty much formed.
